Yes, this Wake team is very good but let’s not make them out to be the ‘27 Yankees. Lowder isn’t even in the top half of aces on this side of the bracket. Skenes from LSU is widely projected to be the #2 pick and Dollander from Tennessee could get selected above Lowder, too. Obviously, it goes without saying that Lowder also doesn’t hold a candle to the one, the only, the truly incomparable Quinn Mathews. Lowder hasn’t even thrown 150 pitches in a game all season. Total lightweight.
It’s baseball. Most games are essentially coin flips. Give me the guys who won’t be wowed by the bright lights because they’ve already been there twice before and clearly have destiny on their side.
